we've seen a marked retreat from u.s.-based investments after u.s. centric holdings, the s&p 500 showing strong leadership in the first ten months of the year. what we've reason seen is now foreign markets picking up the slack. so i would say when we look into 2013, the opportunities most likely exist outside the united states, not in the u.s. >> outside of the united states is a large geographic area. can you narrow it down for us? like asia, europe, emerging frontier, what is it? >> of course, mandy. and that's part of the asset selection you have to do. for us one of the best areas we've seen has been in emerging market debt. it started out many years ago with the bricks and recently we've moved in the last five or six years to the n-11. by looking at those markets where we can have sovereign debt and corporate debt and relying on a good fund like the fidelity emerger. >> peter, i'm interested in what is going to be the key driver of the markets overall. i'm kind of sick of politics being the driver. right? because it means we're not driven by fun
